1 Rocky Mountain Power Docket No Witness: Kelcey A. Brown BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF UTAH ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER Direct Testimony of Kelcey A. Brown August 2017
2 Q. Please state your name, business address, and present position with PacifiCorp d/b/a Pacific Power (PacifiCorp). A. My name is Kelcey A. Brown. My business address is 825 NE Multnomah Street, Suite 600, Portland, Oregon My title is Director, Market Policy and Analytics. In that role, I am responsible for post-analytical analysis of market operations, market policy analysis, administration, and maintenance of PacifiCorp merchant contracts and load forecasting. I am testifying on behalf of Rocky Mountain Power, a division of PacifiCorp. QUALIFICATIONS Q. Briefly describe your professional experience. A. I have been employed by PacifiCorp since May I have been the Director of Market Policy and Analytics since July My responsibilities at PacifiCorp are primarily related to the Energy Imbalance Market (EIM), energy supply management (ESM) contract administration, and short-term load forecast. Before July 2015, I worked as the Manager of Load Forecast and as a Senior Consultant in the regulatory net power costs department. Before joining PacifiCorp, I worked at the Public Utility Commission of Oregon from November 2007 through May During my time there, I sponsored testimony in several dockets involving net power costs, integrated resource planning, and various revenue and policy issues. From 2003 through 2007, I was an economic analyst with Blackfoot Telecommunications Group, where I was responsible for revenue forecasts, resource acquisition analysis, pricing, and regulatory support. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in business economics from the University Page 1 Direct Testimony of Kelcey A. Brown
3 of Wyoming, and I have completed all course work towards a master s degree in economics from the University of Wyoming. Q. Have you testified in previous regulatory proceedings? A. Yes. I have filed testimony or sworn affidavits with the PSC, as well as the Oregon, Idaho, Washington, and Wyoming state utility commissions and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). PURPOSE AND SUMMARY OF TESTIMONY Q. What is the purpose of your testimony? A. Glen Canyon proposes to site a large solar facility in a known transmission-constrained area. This means the only way to interconnect to and deliver power from the Glen Canyon qualifying facilities (QFs) across the PacifiCorp transmission system is the Sigurd-to-Glen-Canyon 230kV transmission line (Sigurd-GC line). PacifiCorp s merchant function, PacifiCorp ESM, only has 95 megawatts (MW) of rights over the Sigurd-GC line rights it holds to comply with an obligation to the Arizona Public Service Company (APS) under a legacy transmission contract filed with FERC. Glen Canyon sized its QF projects to exactly 95 MW in hopes of entirely displacing PacifiCorp ESM s existing use of those rights so Glen Canyon could secure an interconnection without the need to construct additional facilities or upgrades. Glen Canyon s sole support for this displacement theory is a transmission-service redispatch protocol set forth in an amendment to a transmission network operating agreement (NOA) between PacifiCorp s merchant and transmission functions, approved by FERC in As discussed in detail in Mr. Rick A. Vail s direct testimony, the NOA amendment as proposed to and approved by FERC applies only to transmission service, Page 2 Direct Testimony of Kelcey A. Brown
4 not interconnection service. In addition, even if the NOA amendment could be applied to Glen Canyon s interconnection service, PacifiCorp ESM s contractual limitations over the Sigurd-GC line under the APS agreement would make Glen Canyon s interconnection study ineligible for a redispatch alternative under the NOA amendment. In other words, there is no redispatch solution to prevent building the upgrades PacifiCorp transmission identifies as necessary to grant Glen Canyon s interconnection request. OVERVIEW OF NETWORK OPERATING AGREEMENT Q. What is the NOA? A. The NOA is a contract between PacifiCorp ESM and PacifiCorp transmission that describes the operating details of the network transmission service PacifiCorp ESM takes from PacifiCorp transmission. As a result of PacifiCorp s FERC filing requesting an amendment to that agreement, the NOA now contains the transmission-service redispatch feature that Glen Canyon makes the center of its case. Q. What is network transmission service? A. Network transmission service is one of the two types of transmission service available under PacifiCorp s OATT. Generally speaking, network transmission service is used to serve load because it is designed to flexibly deliver the output of multiple generating resources (called designated network resources or DNRs) to load at different locations. Customers taking network transmission service sign a network transmission service agreement and a NOA. Q. Does the NOA apply to point-to-point service also? A. No. Point-to-point service is a separate type of transmission service, to which the NOA Page 3 Direct Testimony of Kelcey A. Brown
5 does not apply. Point-to-point service is less flexible than network transmission service because, as the name suggest, it is from one specific point to another. Customers taking point-to-point transmission service sign a point-to-point service agreement only. Q. What is the NOA amendment? A. As described in more detail in Mr. Vail s direct testimony, the NOA amendment refers to section 8.1 of the NOA, which permits PacifiCorp ESM, as the transmission customer responsible for delivering QF power on firm transmission service to PacifiCorp s customers, to request in the transmission service process only, a redispatch of existing DNRs in order to secure firm transmission to deliver the output of a QF in lieu of building transmission service network upgrades solely to deliver that power. Q. Why is this NOA-amendment transmission-service redispatch tool relevant to Glen Canyon s interconnection service? A. Glen Canyon argues that PacifiCorp ESM must invoke the NOA amendment s transmission-service redispatch option over the Sigurd-GC line so Glen Canyon can secure an interconnection without the need to construct additional facilities or upgrades that would otherwise be necessary to grant interconnection service. Q. Is that the function of the NOA amendment? A. No. As described in detail in Mr. Vail s direct testimony, PacifiCorp proposed and FERC approved the NOA amendment specifically to protect PacifiCorp s customers from the cost of upgrades solely necessary to deliver QF power on the FERC-required firm network transmission, even when a QF sites in a constrained area of PacifiCorp s transmission system, if redispatching generation resources would be more economic than construction. The NOA amendment FERC filings and NOA amendment language Page 4 Direct Testimony of Kelcey A. Brown
6 itself apply to transmission service; they do not discuss or contemplate applying this transmission redispatch tool to QF interconnection service. OVERVIEW OF PACIFICORP RIGHTS OVER THE SIGURD-GC LINE Q. Please explain the nature of PacifiCorp ESM s rights over the Sigurd-GC line. A. The Sigurd-GC line is owned by PacifiCorp. PacifiCorp transmission provides FERCjurisdictional transmission service over that line to multiple customers under the rates, terms, and conditions of PacifiCorp s OATT. PacifiCorp ESM is one of PacifiCorp transmission s transmission customers, and PacifiCorp ESM has 95 MW of northbound transmission rights on that line. Q. Please explain the nature of those 95 MW of northbound transmission rights. A. PacifiCorp ESM has a designated network resource (i.e., contracted energy purchase) that is delivered using network transmission service on the Sigurd-GC line in the winter season. During the summer season, PacifiCorp ESM holds a 95 MW point-to-point reservation over this path. In other words, the type of transmission service PacifiCorp ESM holds over this line varies by the time of year. Q. Why does PacifiCorp ESM have 95 MW of reserved capacity on the Sigurd-GC line? A. To satisfy existing contractual obligations with APS in the summer (point-to-point), and to deliver power to its customers in the winter (network). PacifiCorp and APS are parties to an intertwined set of legacy contracts that allow PacifiCorp ESM to schedule energy from APS to PacifiCorp load in the winter months and require PacifiCorp ESM to continue holding transmission rights through the summer months to facilitate APS s right to call on the path. Page 5 Direct Testimony of Kelcey A. Brown
7 Q. What are the APS contracts and what do they require? A. The first agreement is a 1990 Asset Purchase and Power Exchange Agreement (the Exchange Agreement). 1 The basic premise of the Exchange Agreement is that the electric power needs of PacifiCorp s customers are highest in the winter months and the electric power needs of APS s customers are highest in the summer months. Therefore, each company agrees to provide power to the other in those respective seasons of need. PacifiCorp is a buyer in the winter and a seller in the summer under the Exchange Agreement. The energy is required to be scheduled on a day-ahead basis for each hour and has additional limitations on the amount that can be requested in each hour and across the applicable month. Q. What is the second contract with APS? A. The second agreement is a 1995 FERC-jurisdictional transmission agreement, the Restated Transmission Agreement, under which each party provides to the other access over its respective transmission system. 2 Under section 5.01 of the Restated Transmission Agreement, APS has 100 MW of bidirectional transfer rights over PacifiCorp s system between the Glen Canyon/Four Corners Substations and the Borah/Brady Substations in Idaho. Q. How does PacifiCorp use its 95 MW transmission reservation? A. In the winter months, PacifiCorp takes power from APS at the Glen Canyon substation under the Exchange Agreement and designates the Exchange Agreement as a network resource (or DNR) under the OATT so it can deliver the Exchange Agreement power using network transmission service. In the summer months, PacifiCorp is a seller under 1 The Exchange Agreement and Amendment No. 1 thereto is attached as Exhibit RMP (KAB-1). 2 The Restated Transmission Agreement is attached as Exhibit RMP (KAB-2). Page 6 Direct Testimony of Kelcey A. Brown
8 the Exchange Agreement and needs no northbound capacity for purposes of delivering the Exchange Agreement power to load. Therefore, the Exchange Agreement is not a DNR in the summer, and PacifiCorp ESM s transmission rights become point-to-point transmission service. Specifically, PacifiCorp holds only a 95 MW point-to-point reservation under the OATT during the summer months. Q. If PacifiCorp ESM does not need the 95 MW to deliver the Exchange Agreement power to load in the summer, then why does it hold the 95 MW point-to-point reservation? A. The point-to-point reservation allows PacifiCorp to continue to honor its obligations under the Restated Transmission Agreement for the remainder of the year. As I mentioned, APS has a contractual entitlement to move up to 100 MW of power between the Glen Canyon/Four Corners Substations and the Borah/Brady Substations in Idaho. PacifiCorp ESM holds the 95 MW point-to-point reservation on the Sigurd-GC line to comply with this requirement and make sure transmission rights are available should APS choose to call on them. Although this type of call right on firm transmission would be unusual under a more current FERC open access transmission structure, this type of arrangement was more common when this legacy transmission contract was executed in 1995 before FERC had even established the OATT. Q. Does APS call on its rights on this path often? A. No. Although APS may invoke its rights infrequently, PacifiCorp must nevertheless hold the rights available to APS to honor its contractual obligations. Page 7 Direct Testimony of Kelcey A. Brown
9 Q. Then does PacifiCorp ESM really need to hold point-to-point service in the summer on this particular line to comply with the contract? A. Yes. The contract explicitly states that APS has contractual entitlement to move up to 100 MW between the Glen Canyon/Four Corners Substations and the Borah/Brady Substations in Idaho. If PacifiCorp ESM does not hold transmission rights out of Glen Canyon, it would not be complying with that portion of the contract. APPLICABILITY OF NOA AMENDMENT TO GLEN CANYON QFs Q. What is your understanding about what Glen Canyon has requested of PacifiCorp in this case? A. As I understand it, Glen Canyon sized its QF projects to exactly 95 MW in hopes of entirely displacing PacifiCorp ESM s existing use of its 95 MW of transmission rights on the Sigurd-GC line so Glen Canyon could secure an interconnection without the need to construct additional facilities or upgrades. Glen Canyon s sole support for this displacement theory is the NOA amendment transmission service redispatch protocol. Q. Does Glen Canyon s theory about applying the NOA amendment in this way work? A. As discussed in detail in the direct testimony of Mr. Vail, the NOA amendment applies only to transmission service, not interconnection service. In addition, even if the NOA amendment redispatch protocol could be applied to Glen Canyon s interconnection service study assumptions, the NOA amendment redispatch option does not work on the Sigurd-GC line. Q. Why doesn t the NOA amendment work on the Sigurd-GC line? A. First, because of where Glen Canyon decided to site its power projects, the Sigurd-GC Page 8 Direct Testimony of Kelcey A. Brown
10 line is the only way their output could be delivered. The Sigurd-GC line is essentially a radial connection between the Glen Canyon QFs and PacifiCorp s load, and there is only one other DNR in the area: the APS Exchange Agreement, which is only a DNR in the winter months. Q. Why is that important? A. Interconnecting to a radial path makes redispatch a less helpful tool because backing down resources elsewhere on the system has no impact on the Glen Canyon QFs deliverability. Thus, the only way to redispatch PacifiCorp s resources to accommodate Glen Canyon is for PacifiCorp to cease imports of power at the Glen Canyon substation under the APS Exchange Agreement. A more typical redispatch scenario would involve a new resource that is more integrated on the transmission system (i.e. are not sited so remotely), in which case dispatch scenarios are possible to accommodate the output of the QF using a portfolio of owned and contracted resources. Q. What is the second reason? A. Even if PacifiCorp ESM could overcome the challenges to redispatching posed by the location of Glen Canyon s projects, PacifiCorp ESM simply lacks the correct type of transmission service year-round to use the NOA amendment. As I explained, PacifiCorp only has network transmission service over this path (and the Exchange Agreement is only a DNR) in the winter. PacifiCorp ESM has point-to-point service in the summer. The NOA is a creature of network transmission service under the OATT. The NOA amendment (or even the more general concept of redispatching resources), simply do not apply to point-to-point transmission service. Page 9 Direct Testimony of Kelcey A. Brown
11 Q. If PacifiCorp cannot redispatch its own resources, can PacifiCorp redispatchaway third parties transmission rights under the NOA amendment? A. No, and that is the critical third reason why the NOA amendment would not work on the Sigurd-GC line. PacifiCorp holds the 95 MW of transmission rights on the Sigurd-GC line to honor a contract with APS the same line that would be required to deliver the output of the Glen Canyon QFs. PacifiCorp ESM cannot interfere with APS long-held, FERC-approved delivery rights to enable the delivery of the Glen Canyon QFs. Stated differently, PacifiCorp cannot allocate to Glen Canyon that which it does not have. Q. Did PacifiCorp intend the NOA amendment to interfere with third party rights, like APS rights? A. No, just the opposite. PacifiCorp was clear with the FERC when it filed the NOA amendment that the NOA amendment would not diminish the transmission capacity reserved for service to any existing transmission customers. 3 FERC s order approving the NOA amendment recognized this commitment, stating in response to intervenors that had raised concerns about the NOA amendment interfering with other customers transmission service, PacifiCorp asserts that the proposal will not affect any other network customer s network allocation, all network loads will continue to be served on a firm basis, and the physical transmission entitlements of other transmission customers will be preserved. 4 In other words, both PacifiCorp and FERC recognized that PacifiCorp ESM s obligation to deliver QF power on firm transmission could not interfere with third-party rights, like APS rights on the Sigurd-GC line. 3 PacifiCorp, Docket No. ER15-741, Network Operating Agreement Amendment at p. 2 (Dec. 24, 2014). 4 PacifiCorp, 151 FERC 61,170 at P 23 (2015). Page 10 Direct Testimony of Kelcey A. Brown
12 Q. What if APS doesn t call on PacifiCorp ESM s 95 MW of rights on the Sigurd-GC line? Doesn t that mean that capacity could be used for Glen Canyon? A. No. As discussed in more detail in Mr. Vail s testimony, FERC has stated that a utility can only use firm transmission for QFs, even if the QF sites in a constrained area. This ensures that the utility can meet its PURPA obligation to take the QF power. PacifiCorp ESM must hold firm transmission rights for APS, which precludes using those same firm rights for delivery of Glen Canyon s QF power. Two firm obligations cannot share a single transmission reservation. CONCLUSION Q. What is your recommendation to the Commission? A. Glen Canyon s Request for Agency Action should be rejected because PacifiCorp simply cannot do what Glen Canyon is requesting. Q. Does this conclude your direct testimony? A. Yes.
